Abstract

The river network is one of the essential topographical characteristics in river management. The river network which as previously constructed by the ground surveying method has recently begun to be efficiently constructed using the remote sensing datasets. Since it is difficult to remove these obstacles such as bridges in the urban rivers, it is rare to construct the urban river networks with the various obstacles. In this study, the Sentinel-2 satellite imagery was used to develop the automatic method for detecting the urban river networks without the obstacles and with the preserved boundaries as follows. First, the normalized difference water index image was generated using the multispectral bands of the given Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, and the binary image that could classify the water body and other regions was generated. Next, the morphological operations were employed for detecting the complete river networks with the obstacles removed and the boundaries preserved. As a result of applying the proposed methodology to Han River in Seoul, the complete river networks with the obstacles removed and the boundaries preserved were well constructed.

하천망은 하천 관리에 있어서 필수적인 지형특성 중 하나이다. 기존에 현장조사를 통해 구축되었던 하천망은 최근에 원격탐사 자료를 활용하여 효율적으로 구축되기 시작하였다. 교량 등 장애물이 많은 도시 하천망의 경우, 하천 내 장애물 제거에 어려움이 있어 온전한 하천망을 구축한 사례는 드물다. 본 연구는 Sentinel-2 위성영상을 활용하여 도시 내 하천에 존재하는 장애물을 제거하고 경계선이 보전된 온전한 하천망을 자동으로 추출하는 기술을 개발하였다. 우선 Sentinel-2 위성영상의 다중분광 밴드를 활용하여 정규수분지수 영상을 제작하고 수체와 그 외 지역을 구분할 수 있는 이진화 영상을 제작하였다. 그리고 모폴로지 연산을 이진화 영상에 적용하여 장애물이 제거되고 경계선이 보전된 온전한 하천망을 추출하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 기술을 서울시 한강에 적용한 결과, 경계선은 보존되고 교량 등 장애물이 제거된 온전한 하천망을 추출할 수 있었다.
